Who Is Alive?

Ben Stiller and the crew are really setting new standards for television. The last time an episode left me in such awe was the finale of Better Call Saul. They're at the top of their game. The last minutes felt like a season finale, with the tension and the outcome... It almost makes me wish I was severed, so both my innie and outie could experience the episode as if it were their first time. I really hope the rest of the season keeps up this track. I also have to mention Adam Scott as Mark... what a delivery, he was born to play this role... Can't wait to see how the mysteries unfold... 10/10 for this week's episode!

The pacing of this episode started slow. I thought it was going to be an episode that was mostly subtext, mood, and implications. Which it was, but it was also probably my favorite episode of this season so far. The last scene of this gave finale vibes. It's going to be a long week for me, waiting for the next episode. I feel like they are creating something they know has a big fanbase, because while they're playing it close to the chest, they're serving up a lot of moments they know the fans will be excited to see. I'm heavily invested in the show at this point, and each episode is satisfying, but leaving me asking more questions.

WOW SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. Unlike the previous epsiodes where it was brilliant cinematography, world building, etc, this episode actually pushed the plot forward. And wow the implications are HUGE. I can't wait for what's coming next. You know what crazy? The NInja low taper fade meme is actually just still massive because the previous two episodes were just discussing what happened post-OTC. It was just filling in the gaps and tightening the loose ends. Once that was done, it made room and set up this brilliant episode. The cinematography here was AMAZING. The draw backs, references, all aamazing. I wonder who directed it...

HOLY OH MY GOD WOW I COULD WATCH THIS EPISODE 10000000 TIMES AND NOT GET TIED OF IT. This episode was quite literally perfect. It was so good and entertaining through and through. Everyone was with their loved ones or discovering their loved ones. I genuinely melted and then the shock of the world at the end was just perfect. All of this was so good it was literally insane how my jaw stayed intact and didn't fall onto the floor. I cannot wait for more people to see this episode and for it to have a great rating on IMDB because it was quite literally insane. Cinematography, writing, direction, editing. WOW.

Wow just wow.

I've been waiting 3 long years for this season and I'm glad to inform you that this has been worth the wait, this episode proves that when you think of a good idea you also need to execute it well, and let the characters be the driving force of the narrative, and this episode does just that.

There's a form of comfort that each and every frame was carefully crafted to elicit some emotional reaction from the viewer(funnily enough just like the MDR team), and during this episode I wasn't lackadaisical for even a second, something that is very hard to accomplish from a director's perspective in today's television, moreover with the short attention span we as viewers have.

Everything in this episode is done by the book and beyond, we are witnessing a revolution in tv mark my words.

Do yourselves a favor and watch this if you haven't, even if you don't like this show I'm sure you'll understand the points I'm bringing up.
